Midnight Foot Step
Chapter 27 - Conscious

Three days later, a miracle happened to Arum. The girl regained consciousness and managed to leave the coma. Now, he's been moved to the hospital room, no longer the IGD he was yesterday.

Doni sat next to Arum's bed. His gaze was full of time to look at the face of the lover who had long been lying in a coma, and finally today opened his eyes.

"Doni," call Arum.

"I'm so glad you finally realized, Rum. When you were in a coma yesterday, I couldn't bear to see it. If only I could, I would have changed your position." Doni spoke while holding Arum's hand.

"My eating patterns are irregular Don. So, my typhus relapsed. Just ... I didn't expect it to be this severe, until it was in a coma for days." Arum smiled faintly. He moved his fingers and rubbed Doni's warm hands.

"This is no ordinary tipes" said Doni.

Arum frowned, "What do you mean?"

Doni took a long breath. Although Arum was not long aware, but Doni wanted to tell the real incident. Doni also wants to know what Arum did before, whether it is the same as what Tari did or not.

"You remember Mr Hasan?" ask Doni.

"Remember. He's the housekeeper" replied Arum.

"What do you do before you get sick? You're investigating those footsteps?" ask Doni.

"Yes. I ... followed him to the rooftop. There was a room and Mr. Hasan went in there. Pas I want to sleep, accidentally leaves the door pushed. So, I got caught. The room was dark, I saw nothing but the offerings Mr. Hasan brought. As I was about to run away, suddenly everything was dark," Arum explained as he recalled the tense events before falling ill.

"Continue?"

"Between the real and the dream, I felt like I was sleeping in room 201. I see a lot of people, but .. I can't kill them. My body is like lemes, nothing. Abis, I don't want anything else." Arum told me everything he felt.

"Your spirit is led astray by the devil. It was all because of Mr. Hasan. He's allied with the devil" said Doni.

Arum was stunned, "Seriously?"

"Yes. Dance and Siska proved all this. They followed Mr. Hasan to the rooftop and almost became the next victim. Fortunately, Siska can escape and ask for help from the citizens. So, they survived and Mr. Hasan could also be arrested" said Doni.

"How are they doing now?" Arum asked quickly. Although he himself was still sick, but was very worried about the situation of his two friends.

"Yesterday ..they still fainted" replied Doni.

Arum biting lips. She was very saddened by the condition of Dance and Siska.

"Don't think much, they're definitely cured. We help prayer, yes." Doni stared fixedly while rubbing the cheeks of Arum who was still pale.

"Who's guarding them? I want to talk and ask directly how he is," said Arum.

Doni did not immediately reply, only holding Arum's hand tighter to calm him down.

At the same time in a different place, Tari and Siska were already awake from her stupor. Their condition improved, only recovery. Just like Arum, they also moved rooms. Now, the two are treated in a room with a bed next to each other.

The news was welcomed by his friends. Although they only reported via cell phone, but Tari and Siska were very happy. Moreover, when hearing the decision of Mr. Hamid, who will vacate the dormitory to be renovated.

"Hopefully after the renovation, there are no more scary things, Ri" said Siska.

"Yes Sis. I hope so too. No more experiencing things like yesterday, so scared of me" replied Tari with a smile that expands.

"Benere Ri. I feel like I'm dead. Stopped at the gate, screaming until no one heard a sore throat. Suddenly there was a serem coming. I'm resigned, not strong escape." Siska told me about her scary experience.

"Keep, how did you get away? Those people know from you, right?" tanya Dance.

"Yes. When I turned up, suddenly there was a sound of steps. At first I thought it was a ghost, apparently the fathers next door. I told him a lot, I told rush in to get you. I'm afraid you're stuck because you're not following through. Abis it .. I don't want anything, everything is dark" Siska said.

"Yes, I arrested Sis again because of Bu Rima. I actually escaped, but just want to go down the stairs, I was intercepted with Miss Rima. I'm so tired, I can't stand them anymore." Dance breathed a long breath. Remembering the spooky incident always made him shudder in horror.

"Thank God we're safe now, they've also been sanctioned." Siska smiled.

"Yes. If you're out of here, I want to say a lot of thanks to Doni. He is very meritorious of our safety," said Tari, who then responded to a nod by Siska.

He told me about the courage of Doni who was said to come while carrying a pointed bamboo and immediately bullied Mr. Hasan. Coincidentally, Doni's residence was indeed not far from the dormitory. So, as soon as he heard the crowd there, he rushed to run and join the citizens.

Since the previous days, he did intend to investigate the dormitory because he thought the pain Arum suffered was unnatural. A few days before getting sick, Arum had told me about the midnight footsteps. Arum also said he was very curious and wanted to investigate.

From there, Doni began to suspect. Only, he had not had the time to investigate. Understandably, he doesn't live in a dorm. So a little trouble doing that.

"May Arum also heal quickly," muttered Tari expectantly.

Siska replied, suddenly Dance's phone rang. He rushed to see her and it turned out that Arum was calling.

"Arum Sis." Dance showed her phone screen towards Siska.

"Have a look at Ri. Hopefully good news," replied Siska.

A second later, Dari swiped the green button. The call is directly connected.

"Hallo Aunt," said Tari. All this time the one holding Arum's phone was his mother, so Tari immediately greeted 'tante'.

"It's me Ri, Arum. I've been sniffing here. You're good there too?" arum answered from across the street.

Dance was surprised and immediately shouted, "Arum! Is this really you?"

Next to him, Siska was also shocked. It cannot be described how happy his heart was when he found out Arum was awake.

"That's really Arum? Ri I'm in the conversation dong," asked Siska and Tari to ask for the request.

"Rum, Siska wants to talk too. This is us at odds. What if we're VCs?" The rays of happiness emanated clearly from the eyes of Dance. He was very happy that both of his friends were free from critical times.

"Byeah, I miss him too" replied Arum.

Shortly thereafter, Arum terminated the phone call and re-called with a VC.

Once the VC is connected, the three cry together. They are moved to be able to talk back in good condition, having previously passed through life-threatening scary things.

"Eh, there's Doni too. I want to say a lot of thanks to him. Thanks to her, I was able to be saved in time" said Tari when she saw Doni's whereabouts.

"Tama-sama Ri. We're friends and again .. I also struggle to save him. Can't see her fainting, " said Doni while showing his hand holding Arum's fingers.

"Ciee, it's getting closer. Halalin Don's horde!" fashion Dance.

"Fastly Ri, just wait for the date of the game," replied Doni who immediately made Arum blush.

"Oh, still in college. Can't be kosher." Arum interrupted while smiling in embarrassment.

"Okay, good thing later, but the proposal in the near future is okay, right?" Doni smiled at Arum.

"Nothing, if you've already graduated." Arum turned and avoided the gaze of Dari and Siska, who were currently laughing.

"I bought the ring, the jewel was sapphire blue, just like your favorite color." Doni still continues to tease, either seriously or jokingly.

"Don's spawning grounds!" said Arum while pinching Doni's arm.

"You make a shit," said Tari.

"Yes. Long time not good for singles," said Siska.

"Everything is looking for a girlfriend, a lot of handsome ones on campus. Just choose you guys," ledek Doni.

"They are free to choose, but the handsome ones are also free to refuse." Arum also said.

"Arum!" yells Dance and Siska simultaneously.

A moment later, the four of them laughed. As if there were no more disturbing burdens. In relief and happiness, they kept talking. Starting from exchanging spooky experiences, to plan a road together after getting out of the hospital.
